Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

As soon as the words fell, the Phoenix Totem on Jingyuan Mountain's palanquin lit up, and the fire phoenix that had been charging ahead, as if summoned, actually flew back.

With a flap of its sky-covering wings, golden flames like a flood covered the entire battlefield.

The remaining monsters had nowhere to hide.

Wherever the phoenix fire passed, whether hiding behind rocks or burrowing in the earth, all were burned clean.

In an instant, the battlefield that had originally stretched over a hundred li.

Now only cultivators, mortals, and monster ash covering the ground remained.

Skree!

The fire phoenix spread its hundred-zhang wings and immediately flew toward the distance.

Golden flames trailed behind it in a long ribbon of light, like a long rainbow slicing through the sky, stretching over a thousand li.

At the same time, the Burning Sky Canopy gradually retracted, and the wheels of Jingyuan Mountain's palanquin slowly rotated.

The flames within the wood grain of the Flame Tree burned even more fiercely, pushing the mountain palanquin toward the direction of the Black Rust Dynasty.

"I didn't expect Peak Master Chao Jin to act personally; it seems they're getting serious."

"If that's really the case, then the Longhu Immortal Sect and our Immortal Sect might also send out killers to appear!"

"I wonder if the Huang Quan Alliance and the monsters are ready?"

At this moment, everyone stopped their movements.

Seeing that there was nothing for him here, Xu Zhangqing controlled Broken Moon Flowing Frost and flew toward the gathering point.

As he flew farther and farther, the battlefield behind him gradually became a small dot.

And the golden ribbon of light left by Jingyuan Mountain's palanquin and the fire phoenix still drifted in the sky, like an eternal and indelible mark.

……

……

Just as Broken Moon Flowing Frost landed, Xu Zhangqing took the survivors straight to the Alchemy District.

Alchemists almost all practiced both medicine and cultivation, so seeking them for treatment was certainly correct.

Indeed, as soon as he approached, someone came up to inquire about the situation.

Xu Zhangqing briefly said: "These are fellow disciples from the Tai Er Shan garrison post; I fed them a Ningyuan Xusun Dan to cling to life, now I hand them over to you."

The survivors said with faces full of gratitude: "Thank you for your life-saving grace!"

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Rest well."

After speaking, he directly turned and left.

However, he did not seek Li Sancai first, but found the steward of the gathering point.

Reporting the situation of Tai Er Shan.

Only regarding the death of the Bull Demon King, he slightly concealed it.

Anyway, when the attack happened, the survivors had already fainted and did not know what occurred.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing also returned the resources originally sent to Tai Er Shan to the Resource Docking Office.

Until everything was busy, only then did he go find Li Sancai.

"It should be fine, right?"

"How did a large-scale battle happen?"

"Junior Brother Xu, you absolutely must not get into trouble!"

At this time, Li Sancai appeared anxious and uneasy.

He already knew that a large-scale melee had occurred outside, so he was very worried about Xu Zhangqing's safety, afraid the other party would get into trouble.

He wanted to go look for him, but was also afraid of becoming a burden.

For a time he was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Xu Zhangqing saw this in his eyes and couldn't help but smile: "Senior Brother, I'm back."

Li Sancai's originally furrowed brow instantly smoothed, and he hurriedly went up: "Junior Brother Xu, are you alright?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "I'm fine."

Li Sancai breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard there was a great war outside, and my heart kept pounding, afraid you'd be dragged into it."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "Senior Brother, don't worry, I wasn't dragged into the great war."

Then he briefly described what had just happened.

Upon learning that even Chao Jin, Peak Master of Chi Huo Peak, one of the Seven Great Immortal Peaks, had appeared.

Li Sancai was shocked: "Could it be that our Immortal Sect is getting serious?"

Xu Zhangqing deeply agreed: "From the current look, the reason they didn't act before should be because they were hatching the fire phoenix, and incidentally repairing Jingyuan Mountain's palanquin."

Li Sancai couldn't help but ask: "Then... Tai Er Shan?"

Xu Zhangqing's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice: "Tai Er Shan is gone."

Upon hearing this, Li Sancai stared wide-eyed and asked in disbelief: "What?"

Xu Zhangqing explained: "Tai Er Shan was breached by the Demon King; of the cultivators stationed there, only one survived."

Just now, I handed him over to the physicians at the Alchemy District."

Li Sancai staggered: "How... how could this be?"

Seeing his reaction, Xu Zhangqing was quite surprised: "Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Li Sancai said with a choked voice: "There's a friend I know over there, I never expected..."

The friend from Tai Er Shan is gone.

Junior Brother Xu almost got into trouble.

This left him, who was originally in a decent mood, deeply struck at this moment.

He even thought of his dead parents, and at once suffered extreme pain.

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly consoled: "Worldly affairs are impermanent, we have no way to foresee the future."

Li Sancai took a deep breath, his gaze becoming sharp: "If I were a bit stronger, for example reaching Golden Core Stage, perhaps it would be different, right?"

Xu Zhangqing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Sancai raised his head, eyes staring fixedly at the person before him: "Junior Brother, this time no matter what, Senior Brother bears responsibility.

One thousand li east of the gathering point, there is a place called Chi Yan Valley.

Back then when I and Ling Bi scouted, we discovered three Chi Yan Dragon Lingzhi about to mature.

This is the core main material for refining Nascent Soul Pills, extremely hard to find.

Although you have no use for it, those few Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers at Qingmu Peak certainly need it.

Before returning to the Immortal Sect, you make time to take a trip, take them all away."

Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment: "Senior Brother Lingbi should need it too, right?"

Chi Yan Dragon Lingzhi he had seen in the sect's records himself.

It can not only be used to refine Nascent Soul Pills, but also made into bait to lure Spirit Pets.

It can be said, this is a quite rare Special Spirit Plant, its current market price is extremely high.

Li Sancai shook his head and said: "As long as this plan succeeds, never mind one Nascent Soul Pill, even a Deification Pill he could afford.

Therefore, he fundamentally looks down on these things.

What's more, Ling Bi is currently busy contending with the Huang Quan Alliance, simply cannot spare himself."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing was speechless for a time.

He naturally hoped Li Lingbi would succeed, and the stronger the better.

Although his own status in the team is currently slightly awkward, at least externally, his backer remains this Three Spirit Roots genius.

Next, the two chatted casually for a while, then separated.

Divine Sense swept once, found Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, Miao Huayu, Xu Linshan four people.

Xu Zhangqing didn't waste words, directly asked: "What are your plans next?"

Hu Bugui thought for a bit: "There's no place for my skills here, better to return to the Immortal Sect, then work hard a few years, see if I can break through to Golden Core."

Zhao Ziyue with an indifferent expression: "I'm casual, return or not both fine, anyway it's the same wherever."

Miao Huayu hesitated a moment, said: "I... I don't really like fighting and killing, it'd be best if I could go back earlier."

However, Xu Linshan is an exception.

At this moment, he actually clenched his fists, eyes revealing anger.

Xu Zhangqing while curiously sizing him up, asked: "What do you think?"

Xu Linshan recalled those dead fellow disciples, couldn't help but stand up: "Senior Brother, I want to stay and fight!"
